G-onset and F-16's turn rate

SCPanda · July 25, 2020

So ED said the current G-onset in the game is correct and realistic, what about F-16's turn rate? Right now the Viper cannot out rate a Hornet. Is this supposed to be realitic as well? I am just asking because from what I heard the Viper should be able to out rate a Hornet in a dogfight. Or maybe the Air Force has been exaggerating Viper's turnning ablity over the years? I am confused...

All turn rates match published data from the HAF-F-16 Supplement. There are many factors to flying the jet correctly and for max performance, from G warmup, AoA, to what you have under the wings etc.

G-onset was tested just the other day when T-Day (a Viper pilot with 4,200 hours) dropped by Wags house. He was quite happy with how it performed, and obviously, that man knows his Viper.

Thanks.

PS, you can find many of these charts right in our recent FM report.
